Kind of Disappointed about my Project

After putting my project together onto the website and getting the pictures just right so everyone could see the different pieces of history in the town, I realized that the "loop trail" I wanted to put in just won't go. This really has me down because I was really excited about having this trail leading from the interstate to all these sites so not one would be missed. I do not feel like I failed but I have this idea perfect in my head of what I wanted the project to look like. The website still looks great and is really easy to use with printable maps and different buttons to push. I am a perfectionist when it come to my school work and with this not being perfect in my eyes it a let down. Yes, I think it will still help the community in one way or another. I am going to send the link to the tourism director today so she can take a look at it. Hopefully, she will still want to link it to their website, if not I will understand since the final product didn't exactly happen. I did find out one piece of information about Valdese that really is kind of sad and I am going to see if I can help fix. That is, all the information about the original town and Waldensians is held in the Morganton Public Library basically untouched. Why would a town 15 miles away have all of the records and not have most in Valdese? This is the question I am going to ask. No wonder our young people in town have no clue about its history.
